Most of the contributions were first presented at the 6th Conference on Social Aspects of AIDS in 1992, in London (most of the contributors are British). Fifteen papers address such issues as young men and safer heterosexual sex; characteristics and sources of casual sexual partners among gay and bisexual men; the use of indigenous interviewers to access hidden populations; responses to drug use; and anthropology and the culture of HIV/AIDS voluntary organizations.

Fourteen papers from a September 1995 conference held in London examine the potential for greater solidarity between affected groups and public health services. They discuss professional and policy concerns connected with the heightened vulnerability of groups such as women and younger gay men, and issues of drug use, disability, and HIV prevention. A more specific sampling of topics: sexual debut and the risk of HIV infection among young gay men in Norway; HIV services for women in East London<-->the match between provision and needs; targeted HIV prevention; and identities and gay men's sexual decision- making.
